Newb needs help rooting, unlocking Bootloader and getting a Custom ROM for ALE-L21

Hey there,
I need help, hope you have some for me . I want to use the 6.0.1. OpenKirin OmniROM on my phone and struggle even figuring out a way to get there.
I just bought a used ALE-L21 DualSIM phone with the B602 Build and EMUI 4.0.3 installed. The device is not rooted, nor has its bootloader been unlocked. The EMUI update service does not offer me any patches.
Could someone please line out to me which steps I have to take in order to root my ALE-L21 and get this ROM to work?
Disclaimer: No, I'm not just a lazy moron who does not want to read other topics on this forum - I'm a mere user with less-than-average knowledge of Android development or stuff like that. And I just can't make complete sense of the various posts I've found, since English is not my mother tongue and there seems to be a whole bunch of ways to do certain things with a phone. Well, since obviously I don't want to brick my new phone, I'm not too sure how to best puzzle together the pieces this Forum offers me. It would be insanely helpful if I could get a list that reads out something like:
1. Action - Source (for needed files, e.g.) - Result, on to step 2
2. Action - Source (for needed files, e.g.) - Result, on to step 3
3. ... and so on...
Okay, just so you see that I'm not entirely lost, I'm gonna show you the picture which is currently in my mind.
From what I understand so far, there's the following steps to get there (please rectify or rearrange steps as far as needed):
1. Update the device to Vanilla EMUI 4.1, Build B895 or B896 (I am currently downloading the B896 Build from this forum - which one is recommended? My phone is DualSIM)
2. Unlock Bootloader (What's the best way to do it? Huawei CS? Heard it's not even sure you get an answer. DCUnlocker? Wants money... Please help me clarify)
3. get TWRP 3.1.1.0 (I already have the IMG file, how do I get it to run on my phone?)
4. Root the device (I'd like to go with MAGISK, does anyone have a link for a MAGISK build confirmedly working on ALE-L21?)
5. Do some magic with TWRP (Which steps exactly?)
6. Flash the ROM Zip file via TWRP
7. Flash Gapps via TWRP
Is that about it?
As I said, please feel free to add to/adjust my list!
Thanks in advance,
Pako
If you haven't already install minimal adb tools on computer (windows) found here :
http://bit.ly/2jxX4ya
You then need to unlock bootloader using minimal adb tools and the unlock code
Unlock Code:
http://bit.ly/2z9EFhV
Unlock Bootloader Method in this thread here:
http://bit.ly/2oIASBs
After you are done unlocking the bootloader
Install twrp find that here :
http://bit.ly/2ok9BTi
There was a tool that was here somewhere to install twrp but I will link to my copy here
http://bit.ly/2ATBgRP
What you do is put the twrp image file in data folder
then change the name of the twrp file to TWRP_3.1.1-0_ALICE.img or
edit the install.bat file line data\fastboot.exe flash recovery data\TWRP_3.1.1-0_ALICE.img to the name of your twrp file
Once twrp is installed then you can pick which rom you want
The 6.0 roms arent going to be supported anymore so i suggest going for 7.0 ROM
I'm on AOSPA which is the cleanest and has good battery life
To install 7.0 rom you need B895 or B896 found here on the first post:
http://bit.ly/2jypIij
this is installed through twrp (which is accessed when Phone is off by holding volume up + power then let go once it vibrates or connect the phone to the computer and then type adb devices then adb reboot recovery in minimal adb tool)
once in twrp you need to install the B895.zip or B896.zip file then reboot your phone will boot into emui
you need to install twrp again as B895 or B896 wipes it
After installing twrp you can then install any custom rom of your choice
let the rom boot and then go back into twrp and install gapps found here: "http://bit.ly/1JOWjUqi recommend nano or even pico pick am64 7.1
I would also recommend installing Galactic forced deepsleep http://bit.ly/2ANVdbS
Hey there,
thank you very, very much for your comprehensive walkthrough! (Almost*) everything worked to perfection and I am now a happy user of OpenKirin's OmniROM 6.0.3. mod! Yeah, no 7.x... but I'd prefer to wait with that until the "issues" section of AOSPA does not contain any relevant things anymore. OmniROM seems to have no issues anymore, so I'm content with my choice. I will now follow your last advice and flash the Deep Sleep Mod to improve my device's battery life, and then I'm just happy.
* = The only issue I encountered was when having flashed TWRP, the device booted to the crappy EMUI eRecovery instead of TWRP. I solved this issue using this advice from another thread.
So, once again, thank you! All you xdaDevs, keep on developing ways to improve people's lives with their android devices!
Cheers,
Pako

ZTE Blade A2 Plus Rooting( SuperSU or Magisk),Recovery & Flashing Stock Rom

Hi there, good to see you.
After struggling to find any helpful information about rooting ZTE Blade A2 plus, I finally was able to root>soft brick>hard brick>stock flash>repeat this beautiful device. So thought to share it here so that it becomes helpful for someone in need.
Device Information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...te-blade-a2-plus-5-5-fhd-mt6750t-3gb-t3480759
Prerequisite: Winrar Latest version, VCOM and device drivers (MT67xx), General intelligence to download the attachments and to arrange everything in order and you're good to go
Step 1: Install custom recovery (We'll install TWRP)
a} Download recovery and preloader
b} Download Scatter file
c} Download SP Flash tools
d} Only tick recovery and preloader and select the downloaded files and flash it
e} When the process finishes and SP flash tools displays done, remove the phone and press "Vol Up+Power" to boot into recovery. It may ask you to make /system writable if you want swipe as indicated
f} Done enjoy
Note: Take this opportuniy to first of all backup your stock rom using TWRP and save it elsewhere.
Step 2: Rooting (With Magisk Or Super SU)
a} Download Magisk or Super SU flashable zip as per your need
Note: Magisk gives most of the Super SU features and doesn't trips google security net so you are able to use banking apps while rooted with magisk
b} Place downloaded zip in your sd card
c} Boot into TWRP recovery and flash the said zip
d} Done enjoy
Step 3: Flashing stock rom (Only russian version as of now)-Language is english bloatwares are Russian
a} Download Stock Rom from https://yadi.sk/d/RZLBrKKv3LxejN
Note: It contains PC Flashable stock rom along with scatter files and NVRAM backups so it'll help if you lose IMEI during the process, it is advisable to keep this offline as backup in case links stops working.
b} Flash the downloaded stock rom with SP flash tools
Note: This stock rom doesn't support VOLTE so i advice you to first take a full backup of your initial rom after installing TWRP, also please share that backup here as well so as i could add it to this thread to make it helpful for someone who has already lost VOLTE inclusing me
Conclusion: I'll be very happy if this information proves useful to you in any manner and also request you to must share your backup for me to get VOLTE back.
Thank You

Is this an update to the Stock Rom?
hi, can u help me please, iam tryin to update with twrp , i did remove first line from script but i have error.
Found a way to unlock bands on MTK based phones by flashing basebands from phones with the same chipset. Doing this by using SPFLASH and flashing md1 files. Still unable to connect to cell network on my Doogee bl12000. Flashed this phones MD1, was wondering if anybody could provide me with the nvdata and nvram from the ZTE blase a2 plus. Hoping by flashing those files can connect to a U.S. network.

Need help

Hey I am new to OnePlus 5 and currently on Official Open Beta 5 based on Oreo, encrypted by default, unlocked bootloader but not rooted.
I want to install custom rom based on Nougat, specifically xXx 4.8 rom 4.5.15 based on Nougat.
Can somebody please guide me step by step, how can I proceed, which recovery shall I use? And etc etc.
My firmware is updated to Oreo so how can I revert? if that matters and needed.
Shall I need to downgrade to nougat before proceeding?
Thanks & Cheers,

I can't do step by step but since nobody else has answered I will try to point you in the right direction . There are step by step flashing guides on XDA.
You want to install the latest version of Codeworks TWRP. After you install TWRP you will need to format the data on your phone because you are encrypted and moving from Oreo to Nougat. You can do this in the wipe data tab in TWRP but remember you need to format your data,not wipe. This will erase everything on your phone except TWRP. If you connect your phone to a computer it will be recognized like a memory stick and you can just copy and paste your ROM zip onto your phone. Then you can flash your ROM zip with TWRP.

Complete tutorial to boot oreo rom

Hello friends
After reading many comments and reading many tutorials k3 note users face Oreo ROM do not boot and shows no os is installed or it gives bootloop.
If you are facing these problems then this tutorial help you to boot into Oreo rom successfully.
I know that there is no stable Oreo rom but people try to flash Oreo rom because it is new and having new features .
Firstly use ressurection remix Oreo rom because it is more stable then linage os also it hase endless customisation.
Always use latest twrp for flashing roms ( all links are given at bottom).
So,let's go
1.Firstly boot to your current installed twrp and flash the given twrp.
2.Boot to new recovery and wipe except internal storage I prefer clean install because it does not give any errors.
3.Flash the RR Oreo rom if it shows error again wipe and boot into recovery it does not show any error wait for the installation.
4.Flash latest Gapps nano&picco(arm64) I prefer nano
5.This part is important flash magisk or super su as your wish for root permission.
6.This is the most important part don't boot because we need to path the boot.flash the boot image when you flash the image it shows many options like nvram,recovery etc. choose boot and flash the image .
7.Now boot to system you don't see any error like is is not installed or bootloop.
NOTE:- the boot image I only tried in ressurection remix so try in another roms I don't now it will work or not.
I did not take any responsibility if your phones completely dead,blast or anything.
Please take full nandriod backup into twrp of anything goes wrong.

Invalid zip file format while trying to update phone

I have a new Moto G7 from Google Fi. Following the instructions here https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-root-moto-g7-plus-guide/ I successfully installed TWRP and rooted the phone. I then downloaded the most recent ROM from here, https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/FI/, specifically the file XT1962-1_RIVER_FI_9.0_PPOS29.114-134-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, copied the file to a SD card in the phone, and rebooted to TWRP. When I tried to install this zip file, TWRP reported 'Invalid zip file format'.
The above method works just fine on my Pixel 3XL, so I assumed that this method would work on the G7 as well. Can you please suggest what may be going wrong, and more importantly, the best approach for applying this latest patch?
Thank you.

The official firmware cannot be installed with twrp. These are fastboot files not flashable otas.
Also flashing firmware removes twrp.
ptn107 - thank you. I was unable to find the appropriate OTA for my phone, any chance you can point me in the right direction?

OTAs are not stored online like the firmware. The only way to get a flashable OTA is for another user to capture the download link during the upgrade process and share the link to the file. That user must:
- be using the same model device and for the same region
- be upgrading from the same version you are
- be upgrading to the same version you want
- they must have a rooted device
- be willing to do the work and share it
It is far far easier to just fastboot flash up to the version you want (if a file is available) and skip the step that erases your data.
You said you're on FI so this is the firmware you need. Directions are here.
